PErpetuum tibi ver liber hic philomuse ministrat, Ac paradisiaci germania laeta soli. Her barū huic the saurus inest, florum{que} suppellex, Alcinoi hic hortos Hesperidum{que} vides.

Vtile alexicacon qui promit Pharmacopolis, Vtile Chirurgis, vtile Philiatris: Vtile opus docto, indocto, iuueni{que} seni{que}, Diuitibus simul ac vtile pauperibus. Nec tu Leite tuo certè es faudandus honore, Qui tantas Anglis sponte recludis opes. Macte animi sic fama polum tua scandet ad altum, Sic te, sic patriam nobilitare stude. Thomas Newton.
